Offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien will be leaving the Patriots, but he won’t be leaving New England.
After officially parting ways with the Patriots three weeks ago, O’Brien was set to join Ohio State as the program’s offensive coordinator. Now, however, O’Brien will reportedly remain in the area as he will become the next head coach of Boston College, as New England Football Journal’s Kevin Stone first reported.
The job with the Eagles was not available when O’Brien initially left to join the Buckeyes. It wasn’t until BC’s head coach Jeff Hafley left last week to take the Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator job.
